Thanks for your Java tutorial on memorization, it helped me a lot on my Java course and the swing tutorials were a good refresher but could you write a tutorial on How to approach swing with Java? plz i need help with my java course

Hey, ye... my pc broke but I managed to get a new one so its all good now :) Focusing on Java 3D Games Programming atm but waiting for a book I ordered to arrive from the US before I can 100% get started, messing with JOGL atm ;)

thanks! i got a taste of it on the last few days of school though. i spent 2-3 hours a day re-imaging laptops O_o. that's why i got so much rep this month. while the computers where busy i was on DIC :)
